The incident occurred in the Bhandara district of Maharashtra, located more than 800 kilometers from Mumbai, the economic capital of India, causing the factory roof to collapse.
India’s Minister of Road Transport confirmed the tragic explosion, which also left seven others injured. Authorities are investigating the cause of the blast, though details remain scarce at this time.
